Import the tapes.  If you can do a phase 1 and phase 2 import, then the backups 
are not expired any more.  The data will come back at the retention level that 
it was written and expired at the retention from the days date that the import 
completed.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restore expired backups

Hi all,

We have some problems and we need to restore some backups which were expired
and we don't have the backup ids but Iam sure that these backups were not
overwritten on tapes. I'd like to know it possible and if so how to do it.
our netbackup version in 5.1 enterprise server running on hpux master
server.

Thanks,
Mohamed Wahdan
